His other convictions include aggravated burglary and 3rd-degree assault.
According to the Grand Junction Police Department, when a sex offender is released from prison and is determined to be a sexually violent predator, community notification is given to "enhance public safety and protection."
The accompanying video, provided by the Grand Junction Police Department, has some valuable information about sex crimes and sex offenders in general.

Harassment, threats, and intimidation of sex offenders are criminal and those engaging in such behaviors will be prosecuted.
It's important to be informed about the behavior of sex offenders and how they operate. Parents should have a conversation with their kids about sex offenders and how to stay safe. There is some great advice in the video for parents.
There are currently 286 registered sex offenders living in Grand Junction. You can see where they are living on the SOTAR website.
